The two are bound together not only by their isolation on the prairie but also by their deep emotional reliance on each other. That connection supersedes all else until the arrival of Gus McQueen. When Gus arrives in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma, as a first time teacher, his inexperience is challenged by the wit and ingenuity of the Stewart sisters. Then one impulsive decision and a cataclysmic blizzard trap Elise and her horse on the prairie and forever change the balance of everything between the sisters, and with Gus McQueen. With honesty and poetic intensity and the deadpan humor of Paulette Jiles and Charles Portis, Parker reminds us of the consequences of our choices. Expansive and intimate, this novel tells the story of characters tested as much by life on the prairie as they are by their own churning hearts"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20190919. 650 4 $a Conflict in families $v Fiction. 650 $a Large print book $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Love triangles $v Fiction. 650 $a Teachers $v Fiction. 650 $a Sibling rivalry $v Fiction. 650 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 651 $a Oklahoma $v Fiction. 941 $a 3 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20210729011856.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200414013022.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20200114014705.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E3E0CE90369B11EAA59B8B3C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
